Izabella Gandlin, 27: Was slated to marry in October

Murdered at the Supernova music festival, October 7

Izabella Gandlin, 27, of Ashdod, was murdered by Hamas at the Supernova music festival near Kibbutz Re’im on October 7.

In the initial hours of Hamas’s surprise onslaught on October 7, terrorists from the Gaza Strip brutally murdered over 250 fleeing partygoers and abducted a number of others, possibly in the dozens.

Gandlin was supposed to marry her boyfriend, Nadav Yehuda, just a few weeks after she was killed.

Instead, she was laid to rest at the Ashdod cemetery on October 10, mourned by family and friends as well as Yehuda, who was found alive after being missing for several days.

“You were supposed to get married at the end of this month to the love of your life, Nadav,” eulogized her friend Nicole on social media. “The love between you was so special, you could see in your eyes how happy you were by his side. I’m sorry I didn’t succeed in saving you, my beautiful angel.”

Yehuda told the Kan public broadcaster that it was hard for him to feel relieved that he had escaped alive.

“Many people tell me that it’s a miracle that I was saved, but I don’t see it as a miracle,” he said. “I’ve come back to nothing. They took my heart and my life and I’ve returned to emptiness.”
